Residual Backdoors Are Often Missed During Cleanup

Malware can leave scheduled tasks, registry keys, or dormant services that survive reimaging or rollback — waiting silently for reuse.

Log Tampering Goes Undetected Without Hashing

Without hash chains or integrity checks, attackers can modify security logs to hide their traces. Most teams don’t validate logs post-breach.

Emergency Accounts Often Remain Active

During incident response, temporary admin accounts or vendor logins are created — but not always disabled or documented afterward.

Lessons Learned Are Not Institutionalized

Without a structured post-mortem process, the same playbook mistakes, communication failures, and monitoring gaps repeat in the next incident.
